This week, 21-year-old Quantasia Sharpton announced she was suing the singer for not revealing his herpes diagnosis prior to their alleged sexual encounter in 2015. Now, the Internet is focusing not on her words but on her size.

In late July, news broke that in 2012, Usher had paid a $1.1 million settlement to a former sexual partner who sued him for not telling her he was herpes-positive before they had sex; she alleged that she contracted herpes from the singer. Three more people are now suing Usher for putting them at risk of contracting herpes by not disclosing his status.

Sharpton is one of these three plaintiffs (the other two are remaining unidentified). And since she spoke on Monday at a press conference held by her attorney Lisa Bloom, people online are fat-shaming Sharpton and expressing incredulity that Usher would have sex with her in the first place.

Others on the web were quick to support Sharpton, however, calling out the use of people body-shaming to "defend" a person who potentially didn't tell his sexual partners that he had a sexually transmitted infection. Many also pointed out the hypocrisy of people who recently praising Rihanna and Beyoncé for their "thick" bodies and then degraded a plus-size black woman who said something they didn't like.

Sharpton's appearance, of course, has nothing to do with her right to know her partners' STI status or her right to speak out when that information is withheld from her. And as Monica Judge of The Root explained, the belief that fat women are unworthy of sex says nothing about them and everything about fat-shamers' own insecurities. "You can turn up your nose, make your snide comments, and wish you were in control of [fat women's] bodies and our sexual autonomy," she wrote. "We will be over here minding our business, enjoying our sex lives and not worrying about what you are doing in yours."
